They have done it!

I doubt anyone who has any knowledge of the opening and closing and everything presented in between will dispute that China set a standard that will stand for decades. Even a non-sport enthusiast like myself has to recognize they have taken hold of the present on a scale not conceived by most of us before.

I believe they were chosen to host the Olympic games by a world that had a much different view of them than every dramatic demonstration has shown us.
